Red Sakura Maneki Neko Japan cat of luck id1140195

Finally found a shop that sells this little maneki bells (not a lot in stock though) and I bought a few of them and use them to make cell phone or bag charm. The luck beckoning Cats of Japan is a little metal bell and I made a forged brass wire design and added a brass "made with love" charm and red lanyard. The word on the cat tummy means "10 million tael (ancient counter for Chinese/ Japanese money)"
